I have not seen a specimen of this species, which is recorded from Bogos in East Africa. Judging by the description it may prove to be identical with T. daira. 68. TERACOLUS DAIRA. Pontia daira, Klug, Symb. Phys., Ins. pl. viii. figs. 1-4 (1829). Teracolus xanthus, Swinhoe, $ (nee 3 ), Proc. Zool. Soc. p. 440, pl. 39. fig. 11 (1884). Teracolus odysseus, Swinhoe, 3 (nee $ ), ibid. p. 441, pl. 40. fig. 3 (1884). A North-east African species, being recorded from Dongola and Somaliland; the male seems to hold an intermediate position between T. yerburii and thruppll, but the female is very distiuct from that of any other species. In defining T. xanthus and odysseus Col. Swinhoe has undoubtedly confused the sexes of two species, for the male T. odysseus clearly belongs to the female T. xanthus, and in m y opinion they constitute the dry-season form of T. daira. Moreover, the male T. xanthus and the female odysseus are referable to one species, viz., the variable T. evagore (Klug). 69. TERACOLUS THRUPPII. Teracolus thruppll, Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc. p. 770, pl. 47. fig. 10 (1885). Teracolus jacksoni, E. M . Sharpe, Ann. Mag. N . H . (6) v. p. 336 (1890). Recorded from Somaliland and British East Africa. I cannot see sufficient grounds for separating T. jacksoni from this species. 70. TERACOLUS PALLENE. Anthocharis pallene, Hopffer, Peters' Reis. Mossamb. In*, p. 358, pl. 23. figs. 7 & 8 (1862). This species differs chiefly from the following in havin<* a continuous black border along inner edge of apical patch at all seasons. Hopffer's type is from Tette, and I have seen specimens from Nyasaland, Namaqualand, and S. Matabeleland. 71. TERACOLUS EVAGORE. Pontia evagore, Klug, Symb. Phys., Ins. pl. viii. figs. 5 & 6 (1829). Anthocharis antlgone, Boisduval, Sp. Gen. Lep. i. p. 572 (1836). Anthocharis phlegetonla, Boisduval, ibid. p. 576 (1836). Anthocharis delphlne, Boisduval, ibid. p. 577 (1836). Anthocharis elone, Boisduval, ibid. p. 578 (1836). Anthocharis nouna, Lucas, Expl. Alg., Zool. iii. n 350 ol i fiV 9 (1849). i- ' v ' ' s#" Anthopsgche eucharis, Wallengren (nee Fabr.), K. Sv.
